Schizo - Genetics
  1. Twin Studies
    1. more closely you re bio related to someone with schizo, greater your prob of schizo is
      1. GOTTESMAN 1991
        1. MZ twins have higher concordat for schizo than DZ twins
          1. MZ twins only have 50% not 100% concordance. MZ twins could differ because gene activated in over and suppressed in another or environment diff
            1. TSUJITA ET AL 1998
            2. greater similarity between DZ twins than siblings, DZ twins have same genetic resemblance as siblings but greater environment similarly incl. prenatal
        2. Adopted Children Who Develop Schizophrenia
          1. adoptive children with schizo - common in bio parents not adoptive
            1. children with a moderately high probability of schizo even if adopted by mentally healthy parents
              1. suggests genetic basis but also consistent with prenatal influence
              2. pregnant mothers pass genes and provide prenatal environment for child
                1. many smoke, drink, drugs, eat unhealthy during pregnant
                  1. they have a disproportionate number complications during pregnancy and delivery
                  2. study of adoptive children in finalnd found high probability of schizo or related conditions among children who had a bio mother with schizo
                    1. genetic risk itself or disordered family had less effect
                      1. WYNNE ET AL 2006
                  3. Efforts to Locate a Gene
                    1. more than dozen appear to be more common in people with schizo
                      1. DISC1 (disrupted in schizo 1)
                        1. controls production of dendritic spines and generation of new neurones in the hippo
                          1. DUAN ET AL 2007
                        2. other genes are important for brain development
                          1. control of transmission at glutamate synapses
                            1. connections between hippo and prefrontal cortex
                          2. haven't replicates any of these studies
                          3. if schizo depended on a single gene it would be hard to stay in 1% of population
                            1. those with schizo die younger than others
                              1. fewer than half as many children other people do
                              2. many cases of schizo arise from new mutations
                                1. mutations don't come around that often
                                  1. proper brain development depends on hundreds of genes
                                    1. mutation in one gene is rare but mutation in several hundred isn't
                                  2. more likely possibility is deletion of gene - common error in reproduction
                                    1. examined chromosomes of people with and without schizo
                                      1. found genetic micro deletions and micro duplications in 5% control 15% schizo and 20% onset schizo before 18
                                        1. leads to hypothesis that new mutation or deletion of any of a large number genes disrupts brain development and increase prob of schizo
